Abstract
A portable ice barrel system composed of collapsible components configured to form a cylindrical insulation layer that also forms an opening at the top of the barrel. The base includes a grid, a disc, a rim, and a series of wheels. An inner liner extends into the opening of the cylindrical insulation layer to form an interior barrel cavity and an exterior barrel wall. The portable ice barrel may include a plurality of clips for holding the inner liner onto the cylindrical insulation layer, an expandable bladder or an insulative material injected into a gap between an inside surface of the exterior wall and an exterior surface of the expandable bladder to form an insulative layer, a plurality of sections that form an inner cylindrical insulation layer, and/or a hinged top and a hinged base that can be collapsed when deconfigured and shipped in a flat configuration.
